well a polygon has angles and a curve has none.
No, all the sides of a polygon must be straight lines.
In order to plot the points on either the frequency polygon or curve, the mid values of the class intervals of the distribution are calculated. Then the frequencies with respect to the mid points are plotted. However in a frequency curve the points are joined by a smooth curve, where as in a frequency polygon the points are joined by straight lines. Apart from this major difference, a frequency polygon is a closed figure where as the frequency curve is not.
A frequency curve is a graph obtained by joining the points of a frequency polygon freehand smoothly.
There is no mathematical limit to the number of sides that a polygon can have. As the number of sides increases the polygon will become more and more like a closed curve - a regular polygon will become like a circle. The size of the polygon and accuracy of measurement will determine when it is no longer possible to distinguish between the polygon and the curve. Nevertheless, the two shapes will be mathematically different objects.

A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
A circle with a polygon in it An inscribed polygon is any polygon that can fit within a specific curve or circle.

An open curve, perhaps.

A polygon is made up only of line segments. If a 2-dimensional closed figure has even one curve line, then it is not a polygon.
What do you mean by "dent"?A curve? A polygon cannot have a curve anywhere along its edge. A polygon is defined to have straight edges only. Other shapes besides polygons exist, such as circles and ellipses and the like, but they are not polygons.If you mean that a part of the shape comes inward toward the body/center of the polygon... but the edges are still straight... then the only shapes that can do this have at least five sides. And polygons that do this are called "concave polygons". Look up what a concave polygon is to verify this is what youre talking about.
A cumulative frequency polygon has straight lines connecting the points. A normal cumulative frequency diagram uses a smooth curve to join the points.
Yes. A polygon is simply an unbroken chain of straight lines. Put the point of a pencil on paper, start drawing as much as you want but never lift the pencil, never make a curve, and end where you began. That's a polygon no matter how it turned out. Any shape you can do that with is a polygon.
